Today everything is white;
Snow has fallen and covered everything with a soft blanket
Underneath the snow, the young plants are warm and snug
Waiting sleepily for the coming of Spring.
In God's time there is always a time of waiting
We say "I want" and God says "now - but not yet"
He has given us the gift of Jesus "now"
But "not yet" in all revealed to our eyes.
There is much evil, much sorrow and much despair
But God has not forgotten - He does not change His mind
As the Spring bulbs grow unseen under the snow
So God's purposes are working out - unseen but sure.
